The Coolest Ever: A 1913 Houseboat!

Spread the love

OMG! I found the coolest houseboat ever! A 1913 houseboat built in the era of the Titanic. This lady needs some love but golly is she swoon-worth

With 2 suite style bedrooms, 4 cabin bedrooms and FIVE bathrooms. Thats more than I have in my HOUSE! Oh, and I counted at least 3 clawfoot tubs. Sigh.

One of the bedrooms has an actual flight of wooden stairs. This is basically a historic cabin that floats. (Well, floated at one time. She is currently aground and will need a barge to move her.) Can you imagine waking up surrounded by history and with water views out every window? Being rocked to sleep by the gentle waves?

Here she is giving off some Show Boat vibes
One of three decks (all have water views 😉 )
Imagine sipping mint juleps with the Colonel on the deck. Originally, the posts would flip up out of the way for dancing.

The boat was built about 1913, the year the Titanic sank and also the year the first season of Downton Abbey was set. I can picture a scene from Downton Abbey here, the girls sashaying down this corridor. Wearing something fabulous, like the fashions below.

Unlike the ladies of Downton, there’d be no Mrs. Patmore but I’d be happy to cook in this cool kitchen. Maybe a some decluttering and a paint job though…

The dinning room. Again, can you believe this is a boat?
Another shot of the dining room. I can’t get enough of the blue floor.
One of the two suite bedrooms. Bigger that my bedroom!
Doesn’t this look like an old cottage bedroom? Love the way the windows open up.
And a fireplace! Come on!
I love the furniture and the rug. I hope it comes furnished.
And what would your cabin be without a four-poster bed?
Scrub-a-dub-dub, there are at least 3 claw foot tubs! With original fixtures in place, this looks like a 2nd class bathroom on the Titanic.

She wants me to buy her! I just know she does. Would you come and visit? We can dress like flappers and sip cocktails. Dance the night away on the dance floor under the stars and then sleep like babies, gently rocked by the waves.

Here is the link if you’d like to know more.
